it was said by Phil Brennan: >What about the context switch time? Are there any plans to improve >this, and also to reduce the number of context switches needed? Hello, See Robert Watson's reply to this thread. An unfortunate number of problems exist in threading and scheduling. Most are well-understood and are being worked on and 5.4 should see measurable improvement. Personally, I am more concerned with network and scheduler perfomance. I know the former is being addressed, but I don't hear anything about how work on SCHED_ULE is progressing. Regards, stheg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
